I was browsing YouTube for videos on Occitan and found this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spI77B_lJ9A. While I was watching it, imagine my surprise when at about 1:35 minutes, I saw an Esperanto banner in the background!

I know at least one esperanto speaker that also proudly considers herself an Occitan. I couldn't find her in the clip, though.

The Esperantist singer JoMo comes from Toulouse. In connection with the British Esperantist congress he gave a concert in 25 languages in Letchworth town centre. One of the languages was Occitan. I don't know if that is his native language.

Isn't the whole first half about Esperanto? There was a standard banner towards the beginning too.
